orsi: B.

To all whom it may concern."

Be4 it known that I, Grens W. SAL'ADEE, of Paducah, in the State of Kentucky, hare invented certain new and useful Improve- .ments in Stirrups for Riding-Saddles; and Iv do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, andA t0 the.

letters of referencethereon marked.

In theh drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is arfront elevation, and'Fig. 3 is a plan View of the foot-bar (orbottom) of the stirrup and the manner otattachiug the guard.. To enable others to make and use my'invention, 1 will fully describe it.

This invention relates to a new arlicle ofV manufacture, and it consists in aguard to prevent the foot from passing too far through the stirrup, formed or stamped out ot' a rodor plate of metal, land to be secured at one end to the strrup footbar, as herein set forth.

This guard is to befattuclied to any metallic s irrup ot' the usual iorm, as shown at A.

B is the guard, formed by looping a rod, as shown at Fig. 2, and then bending the looped rod so as 4to form a semicircular guard, as

shown in Figs. 1 and 3, of a form: substantally as shown in the drawings.. 4Theends ot' the rod forming the loop are li-nttened out 'and secured by screws or rivets to the -under side of the stirrup foot bar, as shown inv Fig. 3.

Thisg-uard is to be manufactured in various styles, and isto be sold in pairs by the stores usuzill y selling` horse furniture, so that one can buy a pair of them and have them attached to his old stirrups by the village blacksmith.

-What I claim as new, and 'desireto secure by Letters Patent. as a new article-of .manufacture, is-

'lhe guard B, constructed, operating, andA attached substantially as set forth.
